But sometimes there are some constraints in terms of Garden maintenance. This landscape is intended to mate with a little time to spare or are (sorry) too lazy to deal directly with the park. For a hobby to gardening course this is not obstruction means, but these tips can also be applied.

In Concept Creating postings Park 4, I promised to discuss this topic and there is a question of my friend like this landscape:

Laying Stone Elements

Stone-gravel-and-stepping-stone in the effort to bring the beauty of a park, not necessarily with diverse vegetation. The laying of hard elements such as natural rock and gravel, also very good to beautify the park as well as minimize maintenance on the park. A cross between rock and gravel can we use as a boundary between areas of crops and the area home. We also can make access to the park with paths, by combining the rock and gravel and stepping stone.

But this placement is not necessarily we just put it, because usually weeds will grow around the gravel. Therefore we have to do preliminary work for a laying of stone, gravel and trail. Prepare weeding block placed on the ground. Pal landscape can buy it at stores that sell plants or can be in the shop building. After weeding block is installed, cover with plastic and then sprinkle the stone and gravel and stepping stone placed as needed. Now, with an additional block of plastic and weeding that reduces the growth of weeds.

Low Maintenance Vegetation

Select a border-plant crops suitable for the area or neighborhood friend's house landscape. That is, plants that fit the environment will grow up with healthy and this is what makes these plants more minimal in terms of treatment. The choice of resistant plants in dry conditions such as aloevera, adenium (frangipani Japan), and much more. As a border (border), select plants such as yellow iris (Neomarica gracillis) . And to cover the ground, my friend could use a mini elephant grass (Axonophus compressus).

Plant grass

Grass planting-What? Only the grass? Of course not. This meant that the grass is very easy in terms of treatment. But wait, I mean the grass here is not paspalum grass or bermuda grass (which is used on golf courses) lho. Grass like Axonophus compressus, pearl grass, Zoysya japonica (Japanese grass) is a very common type used. I also have

Create a design as you wish buddy landscape, such as square, round, oval, or adjusting Bentu land. Percantik with the presence of stones and gravel as the border between areas of grass and other vegetation areas or patio areas. Easy enough right?

Pot Plants

Pot-Plant For plant lovers, or rather with the usual crop planted in the pot, these tips can be applied at home. Pot plants are very probably do not need a large space. Pot also makes minimal maintenance and selection of appropriate plants to beautify the presence of these pots. do not be afraid to select plants that can grow large, because we can trim the branches and leaves. Because of these cuts could inhibit the growth of roots.

you can also explore this in a pot. Because it is easy to move, so if you feel bored with the location at the corner then move to another corner. The selection and placement of the pot size can also be applied in accordance with the wishes. For example for a small pot we put in the window, and a rather large size we put in the corner of the living room, corner the main entrance, corner stairs, or in any corner of the sexiest

Tips to Make Xeriscape Garden

In Greek, meaning xeros is dry, so has the notion as a xeriscape garden that requires very little water.

Ideally, xeriscape gardens still need water, although far fewer in number than the park generally. Plants that use native plants were still living in an area, say the area has a normal rainfall.

Here's a short tip for making a successful xeriscape garden:

1. Identify the nature of the Garden area

Spend some time time to observe the existing area. How climate conditions in the area, how dry and how the water source for flushing. Imagine if certain plants are in the area. Imagine all the activities that can be done in the park, including maintenance activities. Determine the design in accordance with the needs of existing and potential.

2. Perform soil improvement
There are places that are too hot and there is shaded. In addition there is also the land to be inundated by water in a long time, whether it is inundated by rain water or water left watering the garden. Soil drainage repairs done by friable or make an appropriate drainage system. It's also important to see whether the addition of compost to the soil surface can inhibit the evaporation of water and increase soil fertility.

3. Choose plants that require less water than usual
The species is not only limited to cactus or succulent plant, but also can use other types of plants that require less water than other types. The main requirement in the selection of plants is a type of local plant or keep growing, in the neighborhood. And the existence of this park can be combined with the general type of garden that require more water as long as we can fit the design balancing between them. The types of plants that can be used, among others: Groundcover species: Aloe sp., Lantana sp., Plumbago zeylanica, Zamia furfuraceae, and others. Types of Shrubs: Euphorbia sp.; Sansevieria sp.; Adenium sp.; Agave spp.; Alamanda schotti; Gardenia volkensii; Hibiscus sp.; Kalanchoe spp.; Jasminum sambac; Nolina recurvata; Portulacaria afra; Plumbago auriculata; Nerium oleander, and other . Tree Type: Bauhinia sp; Caesalpinia pulcherrima; Dracaena sp; Ficus carica; Ficus macrophylla; Ficus palmeri; Ipomea arborescens; Morinda citrifolia; Delonix regia; Erythrina sp.; Equiseifolia Casuarina, and others.

4. Carefully placed and make the grass area
How and where the grass was placed in a garden can significantly reduce the amount of water required at the time of irrigation. The presence of grass also requires more water and maintenance than other plants. But if we do grouping of grass can also increase the efficiency of water use regular watering. And do not forget, choose a resistant type of grass with a sandy or solid condition and drought in the period of time long enough.

5. Use of other Garden elements
Another element that can be used a decorative sand or gravel for a dry garden, or a variety of ornamental rock garden, which serves as both steps stone, tumbled stone, and others. There are no restrictions in the choice of elements other than plants. As long as they do not require much water and still be able to drain the water and can inhibit the evaporation of water from the soil, type of element can be used.

6. Perform appropriate maintenance
Appropriate maintenance activities include water flushing appropriate and efficient, watering schedule and how long watering, providing mulch, providing organic fertilizer, and others. The goal is a state garden remain fertile but clean.
